N"EW YORK, Aug. 6. —Increased
anxiety over Texas crop prospects
as a result of the continued drought
was held-responsible for an opening
‘ advance ,-f 14 to 28 points in the
I cotton market here today. Buying on
the unfavorable southwestern weath
gb er situation was encouraged by rela
tively firm Liverpool cables and ac
tive months soon sold 42 to 48 points
net higher, with October touching
»’ 28.73 c and December 28.05 c. These
prices attracted considerable realiz
ing, but the buying movement con
tinued and the early market held
steady at moderate reactions. Liver-
B pool attributed the advance there to
speculative and trade buying on less
favorable crop reports.
The market weakened later under
> increased offerings inspired by more
favorable weekly weather reports
and prospects for showers with low
t er temperatures in the southwest.
Early buyers were among the sell-
ers on the decline, which carried
a' prices toss to 28.17 for October end
27.60 for December, about 2 to 8
nt Jowe. The man:.', vunsettled
’ at midday.
? The volume of offerings tapered
. off around 27.50 c for December, but
little buying power developed and
| the mid-afternoon market was quiet
with prices net unchanged to 5 points
lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug.
The cotton market opened rather
ftnaer on continued absence of rain
a the west. First trades showed
gains of 12 to 17 points. Liverpool
was better than due and as private
dispatches reported warm dry weath-
I er in Texas, with additional reports
’ of crop deterioration, prices ad
vanced to 27.85 c for October and
27.77 c for- December, or 41 to 42
B. points above the close of yesterday.
The market continued steady near
the highest levels attained while
? waiting for the weather map. Fall
River wired that many mills there
proposed an increase in production
within a few weeks.
The market turned easier again
around noon and curing the early
afternoon prices eased off sharply on
reports of rather general showers in
Oklahoma which traders thought
might mean an early extension of
rhe rains to Texas. October traded
I down to 27.22 and December to 27.20,
or 68 to 75 points down from the
| ’ highs of the morning and 16 to 21
ooints net lower compared with yes
terday’s close.
The market scored a further mod
rate advance when the weather map
showed no rains in the cotton belt
proper. October traded up to 27.97 c
and December to 27.88 c, or 52 to 54
' points above the previous clos. Au
official forecast for showers in the
west stated some reaction which de
veloped into a sharp recession when
the weekly weather report was is
sued. Stating that one-fourth of the
stations in Texas had expreienced
| showers. October eased off to 27.33 c
and December to 27.30e, r 58 to 61
■mints down from the earlier highs.
The market recovered most of the
less when the 10 o'clock weather re
port showed no rains In Texas and
tenerally higher temperatures than
normal.

THE ATLANTA tRLWEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN

11 CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—Wheat Me
ntion reversed itself in the last 30 to
45 minutes of trading. There had
been heavy local buying earlier on
: reports of 2,000,000 bushels of wheal
sold for export. On the bulge creat
ed there was heavy selling by com
! mission houses and when local buy
|er s attempted to unload there was
little wheat wanted. prices
were near the lowest of the day and
7-8 to 1 1-8 cents lower than the
day before. September $1,27 1-8 to
$1,27 1-4; December, $1.31 to $1,311-8;
May( $1,36 1-4 to $1.36.
Wheat assumed leadership in the
grain trade at the start when
the. market came back strong
after a weak opening and prices re
gained mast of the losses sustained
yesterday. The black rust is again
a big factor in the market. Corn
simply reflected the action of wheat
and trade was of little importance.
Oats were affected by the weather
after the market opened.
A little leftover liquidation and
some hedging sales started the wheat
market lower. On the break, there
was good buying for New York ac
count, some of it credited to ex
porters and this caught the market
in an oversold condition. Prices had
a good rally but offerings on the
bulges wer e liberal. About mid-ses
sion. a Winnipeg message told of
black rust being found at the agri
cultural college, four, miles from that
city, and this together with the
strength in Winnipeg caused another
big bulge in prices. A bull factor
early was the reduction in rhe south
west movement, with receipts in
Kansas City 375 cars over 900 a
week ago. Kansas City receiving
houses reported a noticeable falling
off in consignment notices. Kansas
City mills reported a better export
demand for flour overnight. Weather
over Canada was regarded as un
favorable for the development of rust
but heavy rains over our American
northwest tend to tensify the appre
hension over possible loss from the
scourge.
Corn started lower and then rallied
with wheat. Trade was mostly local
and without features. Cash corn
followed the futures with offerings
reduced in volume. Crop reports are
more favoi’able and present weather
is expected to force growth.
Corn weakened with wheat and
closed unchanged to 11-8 cents low
er. September, $1,12 7-8 to $1.13’
December, $1.02 1-8 to $1.02 1-4; May,
$1.02 7-8 to $1.03.
Oats rallied after a weak start.
There was a little leftoer liquida
tion at the opening. Later eastern
wire houses were good buyers. Cash
demand was fair.
Oats received good support, and
closed unchanged to 1-4 cent high
er. September, 49; December, 52 to
51 7-8; May, 54 3-8. Lard closed 5 to
7 1-2 cents lower; ribs 10 to 15 lower,
and bellies unchanged to 5 cents
lower.
Provisions started lower under
selling by packers. On the dip, a
good commission house demand de
veloped for laid and prices had a
good recovery.
Local cash sales today were 5,000
bushels of wheat, 32,000 bushels of
corn, 72.000 bushels of oats, and
3,000 bushels of barley.

WOMAN’S SLAYERS
ffl MEXICO HONIED
BYFEDERALFORCES
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4.—(By the
Associated Press.)—Federal forces
are searching for the slayers of Mrs.
Rosalie Evans, who was shot dead
from ambush near Texinelucan.
Puebla, Saturday night.
The widow of a British subject, a
former president of the Bank of Lon
don, Mrs. Evans was one of the
central figures in Ihe recent inter
national affair between Great Brit
ain and Mexico culminating- in the
withdrawal of the British charge
des archives, Herbert C. Cummins.
Mr. Cummins was accused by the
Mexicans of undue harshness in his
communications concerning Mrs. Ev
ans’ dispute with the Mexican gov
ernment over attempts to divide her
estate under the agrarian program.
Accompanied by John Strauss, the
German manager of her estate, Mrs.
Evans was driving homeward when
shots came from the left, and she
fell from the wagon. Her hair be
came entangled in ihe wheels and
the body was dragged some distance,
badly mutilating the face.
Companion Injured
Strauss made a desperate effort to
defend his employer, but was wound
ed in the arm and forced to abandon
the fight. He managed, however, to
release her body from the wheels
and summon help before collapsing.
American Charge d’Affaires Schoen
field last nignt conferred with For
eign Minister Saenz. He said later
that they discussed the details of the
attack, but he Was otherwise uncom
municative. Representatives of the
British consulate general have gone
to Texmelucan to bring the body to
Mexico City.
Mrs. Evans’ six-yea r fight to hold
her hacienda, consisting of 1,080
hectares (about 436 acres), and called
San Pedro coxtocan, has been fol
lowed with intense interest in diplo
matic circles and in both the British
and American colony. Mrs. Evans
was formerly of Brownsville, Tex.
The question figured in the pre
recognition conferences last summer,
when the American delegates’ unof
ficial- efforts succeeded in® bringing
troversy. arising out of his actions
in connection with the case of Mrs.
Evans.
Mr. Schoenfeld visited the Mexican
foreign office as soon as he heard
of the slaying and requested that
steps be taken at once to safeguard
her property and to punish the mur
derers. He was informed, he told
the state department, that a guard
would be placed on the property and
that every effort would be made to
track down the murderers. The com
munication has been sent to the
London foreign office which will be
kept advised of developments.
The action taken by Mr. Schoen
feld was more or less a routine re
quirement in such cases and the
British government is expected to
formulate and transmit to Washing
ton whatever further representations
it desires to have made.
State department officials were un
willing to comment upon the case
or to discuss the dispute between
the Mexican government and Mrs.
Evans. Aside from the necessary
steps to see that adequate protection
is given to the property involved and
that the Mexican government makes
a sincere effort to bring the murder
ers to book, the Washington govern
ment presumably will be limited to
carrying out the wishes of the Lon
don government in any further diplo
matic consideration of the case.
Florida High Court
Denies Rehearing in
Higginbotham Case
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 4.
The supreme court today denied the
petition of the state fox’ a rehearing
in the case of Thomis W. Higgin
botham, wl c several weeks ago was
granted a new trial on an indict
meat charging aim will. h■> death of
Martin Tabert. than two years
ago in a Di vie county lumber camp.
Higginbotham was convicted in
circuit court for Columbia county in
July last year of second degree mur
der and sentenced to twenty years in
state’s prison, but was released on
SIO,OOO bond, pending the hearing of
a motion for new trail, which was
granted on the contention raised in
the bill of exceptions questioning the
legality of the change of venue from
Dixie to Columbia County.
The supreme court held that prop
er effort to obtain a jury to try the
case was not made before the change
of venue was granted.
State's Attorney Kelly, who prose
cuted Higginbotham, has stated
that the second trial of the defend
ant probably will be calfed late this
mpnth.

i jewels and furs worth more than
j $1,000,000 were the objective loot of
I a band of yeggmen captured early
I today after a pitched battle with the
[ police who surprised the band just
after,, they had entered a storage
house of the American Express com
pany.
In adition to an unusually valua
ble consignment of furs and gems
which had been stored for shipment
today, the warehouse contained a
large amount of currency which had
been deposited there Saturday night.
A woman arrested in a Brooklyn
apartment brought the number or
captures to eight. She gave the
name of Della Feldman, 21, and is
said by the police to be the , wife of
another member of the hand who
escaped during the pitched battle or
the early morning. They said tney
found many thousands of dollars
worth of furs, a large quantity of
narcotic drugs and a varied assort
ment of ingeniously devised burglar’s
tools in the apartment.
Leading fifty policemen, detec
tives who had been trailing members
of the band two weeks surprised s he
thieves after they had entered the
express company’s offices and were
about to load the loot into their mo
te car.
The yeggmen opened fire, starting
a battle which lasted twenty min
utes and ended in a hand to hand
struggle in which the policemen
used their guns as clubs after their
ammunition had been exhausted.
One of the robbers is in a hospital
today badly wounded in both legs,
‘while his six companions are in an
adjoining ward as a result of tne
beatings they received before they
were subdued.

LEESBURG, Fla., Aug. 4.—C. M.
Adams, proprietor of a small dry
goods store on one of the main cor
ners of this city, was held up and
killed in his store shortly after 11
o’clock Saturday night. At the
sound of shots, policemen rushed
through the front door as three men,
all of whom, it is believed, shot
Adams, left by a side door barring
it after them.
Before the police could reach the
street, the men had rushed off in
a rattly automobile and disappear
ed. It is said they entered the store
and ordered Adams to follow them,
and when he refused, he was shot
and instantly killed. The officials
of the city believe the men were
enemies of the proprietor and not
after his money. It is also believed
the murderers made their way to
Polk county, and officials are fol
lowing clues which they hope will
result in the apprehension of the
criminals at an early date.
Joseph Conrad Dies
Os Asthma Attack-
At Home in England
BISHOPSBOURNE, Eng., Aug. 4.
with such rapidity that his physician
advised the use of oxygen. The
Lovers of literature today mourned
the passing of Joseph Conrad, emi
nent author of sea talcs, who died at
his home here yesterday in his 67th
year.
Death came suddenly.
Mr. Conrad was apparently in nor
mal health Saturday morning. At
noon, however, he was seized with an
attack of asthma, which developed
novelist suffered much pain and
grew worse during the night.
At 8:30 in the morning, while rest
ing in a chair, he suddenly expired,
his heart being unable to withstand
the strain of the asthmatic attack.
He held a certificate as master of
the merchant service and never in
his life did he ■ entirely relinquish
himself to writing. His interest in
the sea and its sailors never lagged.
Conrad’s native tongue was Polish.
His parents were of that nationality
and it was as a young Pole that Con
rad shipped before the mast in his
early youth.
When, at 38, literature became his
goal. Conrad deliberately sought a
language in which to express him
self, and when, finally, he chose
English, he went to England to study
where he became in most respects an
Englishman and his mastery over
the language was such as few who
are born to it ever attain.

Jap Envoy on Return
To Tokio Sees Hope Os
Change in U. S. Position
TOKIO, Aug. 5. —(By the Asse
nted Press.) Masanao Hanihara,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, on his return here Sunday
from America said he did not know
whether he would return to Wash
ington. He declared that he was
not recalled, but came to Japan tn
discuss the situation arising out of
the passage of the American exclu
sion act with Baron Kijuro Shide
haia, minister of foreign affairs.
The ambassador expressed the
hope that the coming elections in
the United States would change the
complexion of congress so far as
Japanese exclusion was concerned.
He declined to discuss the American
act until he had reported to Baron
Shidehara, but said the question
could not be solved hurriedly.
He did not expect that it would be
taken up again before the American
elections.
Hanihara said many members of
congress had told him’they regretted
the manner in which exclusion had
i been enacted. He denied he erred
in the use of the phrase ‘‘grave
consequences.”
The agitation which accompanied
i the passage of the exclusion act,
the ambassador said, was dying out.
